Applications for GRP Pultruded Open Gritted include:

• Platforms
• Gully/drain channel covers
• Walkways
• Bridge decking
• Marina & waterside applications

Manufactured by a process of pultrusion, longitudinal fibreglass rovings,
multi-directional glass mat reinforcement, thermosetting resins and a synthetic
surface veil are all combined to form an extremely strong and corrosion resistant
structural section.

These sections, or bearer bars are either 'I' or 'T' shaped profiles and are assembled & transversely linked with 3-part
composite rod sections.

The resultant structures have a high load bearing capacity (much greater than moulded grating systems) and are
ideally suited to installations with greater unsupported spans and even vehicular traffic. Choice of resin types enable
the product to withstand the harshest of industrial & commercial environments. Even when exposed to these
conditions over extended periods, they require little or no maintenance. These types of gratings have been in service
for in excess of 20 years with no failures or discernible structural changes noted.

Suitable for both interior or exterior use, coupled with a proven resistance to the effects of chemical corrosion and UV
light degradation, they are also fire retardant.

Depending on the specification, the panels are available with a choice of spacing, or opening between the bearer bars
of between 33%-60% of the surface area. This version of the grating incorporates a coating of refined, extra-hard
aluminium oxide granules give superior anti-slip performance & wear characteristics. The bearer surfaces may also be
covered by an optional 3mm thick solid top board with gritted coating.

The relative light weight of the product makes transport, handling & installation far easier than metallic gratings.
Panels may be manufactured or cut to size before delivery to site for immediate installation, or cut in-situ using
diamond tipped tooling and resealed using approved resin top coat
